'Ukrainian Orthodox Church - Kiev Patriarchy' (; 'Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kievan Patriarchate' or UOC-KP) is one of the two major Orthodox churches in Ukraine According to The World Factbook], 19% of Ukrainian population associated themselves with Ukrainian Orthodox Church - Kyiv Patriarchate (cf. Orthodox (no particular jurisdiction) 16%, Ukrainian Orthodox - Moscow Patriarchate 9%, Ukrainian Greek Catholic 6%, Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox 1.7%)
The modern history of the church begins in August, 1989, when the parish of the Church of Sts. Peter & Paul in Lviv announced its breach with the Russian Orthodox Church under the Patriarch of Moscow.
In June, 1990, Metropolitan Mstyslav was elected ''in absentia'' as the church's head under the title of the ''Patriarch of Kiev & All Rus' - Ukraine''. Patriarch Mstyslav was the last surviving hierarch of the founders of Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church. He was enthroned in November at St. Sophia Cathedral.
Patriarch Mstyslav (Skrypnyk) reposed in June, 1993 and was succeeded in October by Patriarch Volodomyr (Romaniuk).
Patriarch Volodomyr (Romaniuk) reposed in July, 1995. His funeral near St. Sophia Cathedral in Kiev was marked by a clash between the funeral procession and law-enforcement forces.
The current head of the Church, Patriarch Filaret (Mykhailo Denysenko), was enthroned in October, 1995. This led to yet another split: four more bishops left the Church with their parishes.
Since his election as a Patriarch, Filaret remains very active in both church and state politics. He tried to gather around his Church all groups with a nationalist orientation and all church organizations which did not have canonical recognition.Patriarch of Kyiv and all Rus-Ukraine Filaret at the Institute of Religion and Society of the Ukrainian Catholic University On the other hand, he expressed repentance for his past support of prosecution of Ukrainian national churches, the Autocephalous and the Greek Catholic. He currently leads the drive for his church to become a single Ukrainian national church. His attempts to gain a canonical recognition for his church remain unsuccessful to this day and a rival Ukrainian Orthodox Church canonically linked to the Moscow Patriarchate remains the only body whose canonic standing is universally recognized by the Eastern Orthodox communion.
★ Montenegrin Orthodox Church, which faces a similar kind of non-recognition
★ Orthodox Church in Italy, which is in full communion with Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Kiev Patriarchy) and Montenegrin Orthodox Church
